Understanding Ptsd

[anthony]

Thanks.

I really need to update this document, considering I wrote it back in 2006, and much of the basic information is incorrect / changed now, based on more appropriate neuroscience methods and further empirical studies.

Ummm Hopefully not a huge change in science. I've just had a major go around with my wife on this, Or rather she had a go around with herself.

Shit. don't even want to post that here.

No worries. I'm f'd anyway. Don't mean to post that outside of the bar, but...... Just had a really bad day and evening.

The whole evening and part morning. 0527 now. Hello insomnia.

WTF??

Wagon, I'm sorry you had a rough day and a sleepless night! :( everyone's fuse is short on little sleep...not saying you need to share, but if you want to talk about what's going on or anything you can either send me a message or post it in the bar area. I hope you know that NO MATTER WHAT, we got your back! Anthony's got everyone's back and he's a professional in mental health studies so just like in the Navy, everyone had their own lingo, don't jump all over Anthony for using medical research lingo, its his passion I think. if it wasn't for him, I would not have learned so much from you and the other Vets. Anyway, sorry again about your shit day/night ....(and why the hell do I heard a CHAINSAW in the middle of town at 1103pm??) *lil nervous*

Hey Wagon, what Anthony is referring to is the huge inroads they have made since 2006 when he wrote that document. Because of the massive amounts of service personnel returning to every country, a deeper study has happened and there are now different idea's on treatment and different idea's on the actual disorder.

Hope you get to sleep today.

Anthony. If that's the same friendly little bug that's been so sociable over here you have my (quite rare) sympathy.
Rest up! (like there's a choice). All the best.

I started reading the first page, and chemical imbalance is mentioned... which isn't true now due to neuroscience. There were others as well... that was just the first page. There are things in that document that aren't any longer accurate, have changed, and probably new things that should be incorporated. The substance remains the same... pieces of it are incorrect though, as they are based on 5 year old facts, which aren't correct now.

 

[Wagon]

Did not mean to jump on you Anthony. Hope it was not taken that way.

I understand what the changes are and had read about the chemical imbalance thing elsewhere on this site. Hard to remember operating on no sleep. Sorry for that.

Whats the saying "All work and no sleep makes Jack a miserable bastard."

or my favourite

"No TV and No beer makes Homer go crazy"

Thanks Steph and Jimmy for support. And Anthony for keeping the facts straight.

Wagon.

Anthony, my girlfriend bought this ebook for me, by a Brit bloke, I don't want to get you into trouble by just copying it so:

Coping with PTSD

Costs about a fiver

Bugger. My fault should've checked the link.

Now Dead Link Removed

Can't find the book I've got on it any more but will carry on digging.
If nobody is claiming ownership of it any longer then sod it, I think everyone should have a chance to look at it.

I hate that website... it annoys me trying to just read it.
